Geopolitics, shifting sentiment & fading FUD around Chinese #EVs are converging. After a decade of slow burn, adoption is accelerating. Australia hit 1 in 4 new cars fully battery-electric (BEV) a decade ahead of forecast & this is just take-off, disruption S-curves aren't gentle. #Bettrification

Since the Hormuz crisis, EU gas prices are up 132% and oil 52%. Electricity is up 44%, after falling through spring. Every boiler, car and furnace that switches to electricity is less exposed to the energy crisis. Electrification is increasingly energy security.

446. Chainsaw Retrofit to Net Zero and the Secret Powers of the Energy Advisor
CHASING NET ZERO SERIES AUDIO BLOG By David Dodge, GreenEnergyFutures.ca For Stephen Magneron, a “chainsaw retrofit” offered the precise remedy to convert a 1970s bungalow into a high-performance net-zero residence. This description might evoke a horror film where Leatherface uses a chainsaw to tear apart a house. Yet “chainsaw retrofits” are an established—common approach for upgrading older homes. “We chopped off the overhangs, and then we wrapped the building with an airtight membrane, and then insulated it with a Larsen Truss system on the walls and the roof,” says Stephen Magneron, a master energy advisor with…

My favourite chart from the @IEA special report on electrification. Electricity is only 23% of Final Energy (No big deal), but it's 37% of Useful Energy (What?) and delivers 46% of GDP (Wow!) And it's going clean, fast. Still think there's no transition? iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/1c696...
